Greetings!
I’m a Seattle-based creative leader with over 20 years’ experience delivering experiences at the intersection of narrative, technology and design. I am a storyteller at heart, an idealist per Myers-Briggs (INFP for the win!) and a problem solver by profession.

  • As a cofounder of Minerva Interactive, an artisan game studio, I am focused on extending the reach of classic literature into the digital age by interspersing content with narrative-related mini game activities. Our team’s first title, Playing Pride & Prejudice: An Austen Armoire is now available on Steam.

  • At HTC Creative Labs, the innovation arm of the Taiwanese company, I led and worked alongside teams of designers, artists and writers on experiences such as VIVE Video and VIVE Reality System, the operating system that runs the VIVE Cosmos  headset.

  • At Microsoft in a series of roles in the Hardware organization, I spearheaded the design of a successful, repeatable framework for product out-of-box experiences. 

I ALWAYS START WITH STORY. FOR SOMETHING TO BE WORTH DOING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD ANSWER TO THE QUESTION "WHY?"

What does this technology do well? How does it help people? Why should they care?

 What's your story?
